Ninasam Sathish turns director

My Name is Sidde Gowda will be made in Tamil and Telugu as well under different titles

Actor Sathish Ninasam is turning director with his latest Kannada film My Name is Sidde Gowda. The actor has also written the story and screenplay for the film. Shooting is expected to start in February. The film is also being made in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously under different titles. Sathish recently announced his first Tamil film.

“I started writing stories years ago. I have 2-3 film scripts ready. I felt this was the right time for this story to be made into a film. My next two releases are Chambal and Godhra. The one after that needed to be a different package,” he said. His friends were convinced only after he narrated them the story.

“When I said I wanted to direct a film, my friends said that better continue as an actor and make money. But when Nandish, the director of Godhra heard the story he said only I could direct this film. That was also the opinion of few others who heard the story,” Sathish said. He is also penning the dialogues with Sharath Chakravarthy.

The film is about the journey of a characer called Sidde Gowda. “Everyone has to move and continue his life’s journey whatever the hurdles. There is no stopping life from moving on. That is the basic premise of the story. It is not my life story. But my life’s journey has inspired it. I come from a village and from there to Ninasam to Bengaluru was a journey of surprises that awed me every step of the way. Sidde Gowda is a knowledgeble and mature person who leads a principled life who influences people he meets. He transcends the barrier of language, country and borders,” Sathish explained his film’s idea.
